Grabar Law Office is Investigating Potential Price-Fixing Claims on Behalf of Businesses that Purchase Eggs Directly from Major Egg Producers as Cal-Maine Discloses DOJ Civil Probe

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - April 10, 2025) - Grabar Law Office is investigating potential price-fixing and anticompetitive practices in the U.S. egg industry on behalf of businesses that directly purchase eggs from major egg producers. This investigation follows reports that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an antitrust probe into large egg producers amid soaring egg prices and allegations of supply manipulation.

Businesses that purchased eggs directly from major egg producers are encouraged to visit https://grabarlaw.com/the-latest/egg-pricing-investigation/, contact Joshua Grabar at jgrabar@grabarlaw.com, or call 267-507-6085 to learn more about the investigation and their rights.

Why? Recent reporting from The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and POLITICO has highlighted concerns that the largest egg producers may have engaged in price-fixing by coordinating supply reductions and manipulating industry benchmarks. The DOJ has reportedly sent letters to key industry players, instructing them to preserve records of communications regarding pricing, production, and supply chain constraints.

The egg industry has faced scrutiny for its role in food inflation, with prices having surged dramatically in recent years. Some advocacy groups and lawmakers have alleged that leading producers have leveraged avian flu outbreaks as a pretext to artificially restrict supply and inflate prices. According to internal industry data, the impact of avian flu on overall egg production may have been overstated, raising questions about whether egg producers engaged in collusive conduct to maximize profits.

On April 8, 2025, Cal-Maine Foods Inc. (NASDAQ: CALM), which bills itself as the country's largest producer and distributor of fresh shell eggs, became the first company to disclose being targeted by a U.S. Department of Justice civil probe into spiking egg prices.

Cal-Maine stated: "In March 2025, the company received a civil investigative demand in connection with a widely publicized investigation by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice into the causes behind nationwide increases in egg prices. The company is cooperating with the investigation."
